Hi all, I have a mouthful of fillings, root canal treatments, implants and crowns (a combination of a mis-spent youth and a liking for karate in my younger days).
I have never had a problem when diving but discussed this with my dentist at my regular checkup ( I go every 12 months for a checkup). I had to explain to her the possible problems as she had absolutley zero knowledge of diving and how it might relate to dentistry, but she was very good and grasped th eptoential problems straight away. She suggested that in addition to my annual checkup she could x-ray the teeth every second or third year and this would pick up any early signs of problems under the existing work.
Seemed a very sensible way forward which I took. Better for long term gum and teeth health as well. My advice would be get any decay treated as early as possible, and then don't worry about it. Best - Phil.
